Dimethylformamide → 4-But-2-ynyloxy-benzenesulfonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.146 g (1.0 mmol) of the but-2-ynyloxy-benzene in 0.3 mL of dichloromethane in an acetone/ice bath under N2 was dropwise added a solution of 0.073 mL (1.1 mmol) of chlorosulfonic acid in 0.3 mL of dichloromethane. After the addition was complete, the ice bath was removed and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. To the reaction was then dropwise added 0.113 mL (1.3 mmol) of oxalyl chloride, followed by 0.015 mL DMF. The reaction was heated to reflux for 2 h and then diluted with hexane and poured into ice water. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to provide 0.130 g (53%) of the desired product as a light brown solid.
